Thanks, but my 8GB nodes are listed first. The server_priv/nodes file format is:<br><br>node25 np=4<br>node26 np=4<br>...<br>node32 np=4<br>node33 np=8<br>...<br>node40 np=8<br><br>With the node33 and higher having 24GB.<br>

<div style="">Hi,<div><span style="white-space: pre;">&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp</span>I&#39;m not sure about NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY since I have mine set to PRIORITY. But I did wonder how you had your nodes listed in the torque server_priv/nodes file. I&#39;d make sure that the 8Gb nodes were listed first before the 24Gb nodes. Just a thought. Hope it helps.&nbsp;</div>
